The Holy Bloodline

[Ricdeau]

I've never read it, but after seeing a TV show about "The Da Vinci Code" I have really started to think about it. It talks about Jesus being married to Mary Magdalen and them having a child. Could it be true? Are there descendants of Jesus walking the Earth? In the Bible there is hardly any mention of Mary, but when the lost books were found, Mary appeared to be Jesus' No.1 Apostle and his favourite. There is other evidence such as the "Priary of Sion", a mysterious organisation that has claimed to hold the secret of the Holy Grail and the Holy Bloodline. What are all your thoughts on this?

Read The Da Vinci Code

the way it is set out for you, it could make anyone second guess themselfs, pretty good book IMO

but I dont think that its true, and I have never met anyone who did.

[Ricdeau]

The Da Vinci Code is a big book, I'm too lazy. But yeah, I'd like to believe it but I'm not really sure though.

[Chaos Theory]

tha big is set in a true and false format

parts of the book are true where others are false but combined soo well it is hard to tell fact from fiction

I really don't care, truth be told, but my dad apparently is knowledgable on the subject, so I guess I'll contribute his knowledge to this thread:

According to him, the bloodline of Christ is not true, and is just a plot by those "Priary of Sion" and other such groups to help the Antichrist ascend to the position of head of the world, claiming to be descended from the "bloodline of Christ". Also, according to him, the EU is the institution in which the Antichrist will ascend to head of (as its the biggest union of countries in the world today).

There's a lot more to it, I'm sure, but thats all the info I've gleaned from his so far. Like I said, it just doesn't interest me, and if I ever DO want to know, I could just ask him, or find my own knowledge on the subject =/

Isn't the UN the largest union of countries? United Nations is a bit of a clue. And I don't really believe anything about the anti-christ, but I suppose it seems plausible.

Well, the EU is more "closely knit" than the UN, and has a lot more political power over those countries who are a member of it.

funny, my dad told me pretty much the same thing as I was reading it lol

and, after reading it he showed me some things in the bible that counter a lot of the text in the book

I agree with cammy, it is so well written it can be hard to tell what is true and what isnt

The theory of the EU bringing the anti-christ is as much myth - if not more - than the whole Da vinci code thing. It was really put up in the spot light when a christian film about the apocalypse included it in it's main stories.

The Anti-christ is supposed to come in only after all of god's children are taken to heaven - those left will be given the choice to embrace god or not. The anti - christ will be one of middle eastern descent according to most interpritations, and will attempt to lead those left to stray.

As for the Da vinci code - I have seen many accounts of it's info being proven false. Yet you can't dismiss the entire amount of evidence just because a book got a little ahead of itself. Even today these groups still live - The orders of Knights Templar, order of St. Augustine, order of Hospitalers, order of Gelgouch. All these forces still hold much that is not apparent in the picture shown by the vatican.

The theory of Mary Magdalen is very well founded and has recieved attention even within the vatican. Now to go on to say there is a bloodline from Jesus and Mary is a bit stretched and in my opinion a bit romanticized.

You can't discount it completly though - there are many cases of Hindus reporting a man named Christos preaching much of the same word of god with a woman much like Mary. This is considered a legitimate theory held by credible evidence - and is not considered to contradict the Bible by many religious Historians. Jesus could in fact have ressurected from the cross - but it may be seen that his rise to heaven was a matter of interpritation that his deed had rose him to his father's side, but still to stay on earth as a man.

It would make sense to carry the teachings to India. The Hindu religion is perhaps one of the most accepting of most major religions. They believe that one should study all religion in their search for truth and not be hostile to others of other religions - one who does is ignorant.

This follows much the same as Jesus' teachings, and his travels to add christianity to that part of the world would have made much sense. What's more is that many cases state that Jesus - or christos - dissappeared after his teachings, in an unknown way.
This may of course be proven false with some effort to disprove facts - but I have still remained interested.

I agree, you cant discount it all, because like I said, there are a lot of facts in the book, but not all of it is true, and that is pretty much all I was saying

still a pretty good book that was very well written.

I wont go so far as to point out what is wrong - but what can be interprited differantly.
